Lower back problems. In case you didn't know ..... not much fun!! It all stemmed from a framed pictures re-arranging and hanging session and attempts to extend and reach areas of the wall not easily reachable. I initially thought it was just a minor strain until the initial re-aggravation took place ..... And every time over the past week that I thought it was getting better, I did something dumb to re-re-aggravate the condition, each instance seemingly more painful, crippling and for a longer period of time than the times previously. I'm guessing as well, that weight and age are major contributing factors to complicating the healing process. It also seems to affect the fingers as I seem to be dropping more items then usual that result in the act of bending over to pick them up off the floor requiring experimentation in new methods of undertaking said act.
You learn the difficult way that healing the back is a slow, gradual process. One sudden wrong movement can offset four or five days of improvement. In the blink of an eye it's back to the beginning ..... or further.
